Why are you okay with people slandering a man without evidence?
How do you stop someone from slandering you? Freedom of ..... If i'm OK with people slandering me without knowing me why would I care about another Man? I stopped giving 2 fk... about what people think of me a long time ago my concern is what people KNOW about me, cheers!
I'm really not sure what kind of point you are trying to make. In your own model I would be the reciprocal reaction to the original claims. They put out garbage allegations and opinions into the ether and received my critical opinion in return.
